Last week (what I accomplished)

This week I finished printing the fabric as well as the tank top that I will be using in the shoot. I also cut out the pieces for my black silk open back top, all I need to do is sew it and it will be ready for the shoot. I also have a problem last minute in terms with my photo shoot, my photographer Carlotta Kohl cannot photograph the shoot so I have been working on finding someone else and I think I will use Hannah Levy. I will do the shoot as soon as I finish the long georgette skirt, the top, and the leather shorts so it should be done by next Wednesday. I am excited to get this done, I will be showing my project on the second floor of the senior building as well!

printing fabric

today I started and finished printing on the 3 yards of white silk that I bought. I think it will look really cool in the gallery or wherever I end up showing my stuff.

10th week (what I accomplished)

This week I finished all of my sketches and also worked more on my process book. I called a fabric store in the city to send over some swatches of fabric. I needed fabric for the skirt and for the piece I am going to print onto. I ordered black silk georgette which is a wide stitch silk so it is somewhat see-through. I also got some white silk to do my printing on. I altered the blazer with the gold lining a bit more so the gold sticks out of the sleeves a bit more so you can see it. I came up with a concept for my photo shoot and it is going to be me getting ready to go out. I am excited to shoot the clothing either next weekend or during break!

9th week (what I accomplished)

This week I finished putting the lining into another blazer. I was able to find a gold version of the fabric that I put in the first one so I think they will look nice together. I was able to figure out my whole collection and in the end I will have 8 pieces and possibly 9. I also found a new location for my photo shoot which is at my friend's modern house in Watermill. I decided that the first location was too old fashioned and I think it should be more modern so I am very excited. I also asked my good friend Yvie to do the makeup at the shoot. I am very excited for this shoot and I hope to do it in the next few weeks.

8th week (what I accomplished)

So this week I finished putting the liner in the blazer. Im really happy with the way it turned out and I am so excited that its finished, all I need to do now is find some buttons for the blazer. I want either black and gold or red and gold buttons that sort of match the lining, maybe I will even find some that have a bit of asian feel to them. I am also almost finished with the dress, I made it a little short so I will need to add on to it, I also need to cut the back and make it a low back dress. I don't think I will add the stingray because I don't think it looks good with the dress.

7th Week (what I accomplished)

This week I worked on printing onto tanks and tees again. Last night I printed metallic silver ink on to a black tank and some paper. Tonight I am going to work on some more probably the white ones. Last night I also took the lining out of a blazer I bought from a thrift shop because I am going to replace the lining with chinese red and gold fabric that I bought in the city. Tonight I also want to work on my second dress for a bit. This weekend is portfolio day in the city so I have been also working on my portfolio for schools.
